The Trivani Foundation’s approach to humanitarian aid is not only to relieve the suffering of the sick and impoverished but also to help them develop their villages into successful, self-sustaining communities.

Every 30 seconds, an African child dies of Malaria. Every 14.4 seconds, another person dies of HIV/AIDS. Every 3.6 seconds, another person dies of starvation. These people don’t have time for development—they’re dying, and they need our help now. Trivani provides relief in the form of emergency food, medicine, mosquito nets, and more to help people in extreme poverty. Once these people have been stabilized and have come back from the brink of death, they’re ready for development.

More than 2.7 billion people in the world live on less than two dollars per day. They walk more than a mile just to collect unsanitary water; they live in societies where even one year of basic education is rare; they suffer and die from preventable diseases that rich countries eradicated decades ago. Trivani provides development by digging wells, building and funding schools, teaching trade skills, providing small business loans, and more. With these development programs, countries can become independent of others’ aid and help their people to live better, more hopeful lives.
